Questions are still pending regarding specific requirements for
"visibility" of street numbers.
3. PROPOSED ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE PROTECTION OF
SEA TURTLES.
This proposed Ordinance was deferred to the March Workshop Meeting
awaiting further information, specifically a draft of the proposed Palm
Beach County Ordinance on this subject. Concern was expressed regarding
the provision of security on the beach by regulating the lighting which
will be addressed further. Upon Commissioner Stewart's inquiry, Mr.
Williams noted that Mr. Echeverria who heads the Highland Beach Turtle
Program had been informed of this meeting.
87.4 Discussion re March Issue of THE BULLETIN
The March issue of THE BULLETIN was then discussed with several recom-
mendations made as to the working and order of its contents. There was
a consensus to approve THE BULLETIN with the suggested changes.
Discussion was held as to the question of whether or not unopposed
• candidates should appear on the ballot. Mayor Sullivan expressed a
concern regarding the possibility of "write in" candidates for Mayor.
The Town Clerk noted that write in candidates could only be valid if it
pertained to a question already on the ballot, and inasmuch as the
question of Mayor would not be on the ballot, there could be no write
ins. The Town Clerk will however, get further information on this
matter from the Supervisor of Elections of Palm Beach County.
87.8 Submission of list of proposed poll workers for March lg,
1987 Election
The Town Clerk submitted the following names and recommended their
appointment as poll workers for the upcoming municipal election:

Commissioner Grier then commented on Attorney Sliney's letter of 2/18/87
regarding the eligibility of candidates. Commissioner Grier stated that
he did not agree with the Town Attorney's ruling that the Town itself
should not get involved and felt that the Town had an obligation to
persue this matter.
Commissioner Betty Jean Stewart
Commissioner Stewart cited an editorial appearing in the February 23,
1987 issue of the Boca News suggesting that support be given to the
present Palm Beach County Handgun law which is being jeopardized by
pending statewide legislation. The Town Attorney was directed to draft
a Resolution of support for the March 3, 1987 Regular Meeting. Mr.
Williams will also urge support for this issue at the Palm Beach County
Municipal League Meeting being held on 2/25/87.
REPORTS - TOWN ATTORNEY
Attorney Sliney reported on a proposed "Developer's Agreement" between
the Town and the owners of Town Lots 133-137 East (the former Frederick
Property). Attorney Sliney noted that the Planning Board will be
t meeting on February 25, 1987 to review this proposed agreement and make
their recommendations to the Town Commission. Some of the issues to be
addressed are the existing gatehouse, the clearing of the land, the
common access driveway, etc. This proposed agreement will require
additional review by the Town Commission prior to adoption. This
proposed agreement will be submitted to the Planning Board by the Town
Attorney for their February 25, 1987 Meeting. Commissioner Stewart
cited the fact that the Town does not allow any work on a site without a
building permit. The Planning Board will take this into consideration
in their deliberations on this matter. Commissioner Stewart further
stated that she would want added to this proposed agreement that any
ideas presented and may be accepted as part of the agreement are not to
take precedence over Highland Beach Codes or Ordinances in order to
avoid any conflicts. It was also noted that any demolition to take
place would not allow the debris to be used as fill on the site.
A recess was then taken in order to open bids for the purchase of a gas
storage tank and to hold a Special Meeting to consider the adoption of
an agreement between the Town and the Clarendon for the installation of
a communications antenna.
Upon reconvening the Workshop Meeting, it was noted that the request of
Attorney Slinkman re Phase II of the Hoffman/Broadview site would be
addressed at the March Workshop Meeting.

REPORTS - TOWN MANAGER
The Town Manager is still working on a policy regarding the maintenance
of the Bel Lido rights-of-way which will be submitted for discussion at
the March Workshop Meeting.
The Town Manager reported on a bill submitted to the Legislature by the
Palm Beach County Fire/Rescue Department allowing by dual Ordinance the
option to opt out of the present agreement and join the MSTU. This
would not affect the Town's rate for service and therefore, the Town
felt that comment on this item was not necessary.
The Town Manager will contact Representative Steve Press to urge his
support of PCB JUD (d6 regarding sovereign immunity legislation for
liability insurance for municipalities.
The Town Manager requested clarification regarding enforcement of the
Newsrack Ordinance, specifically whether the present racks were to be
considered "grandfathered in" or held liable for the provisions as
adopted. All action by the Town Manager was deferred until the Town
Commission re-addresses this issue at the March Workshop Meeting.
An Ordinance increasing the Town's connection fees with regard to water
and sewer hook-ups will be given first reading at the March 3, 1987
Regular Meeting.

STATF OF VICE MAYOP . *l'RY M11SF G. BLOSSrP Feb. 24, 19Q7
Let us NOT confuse the issues.
Interference in the election per se is not the proper business
Of this Commission. The business of this commission is to uphold the Town
Charter, the Town Ordinances, and all the other laws to which we have sworn
observance... as well as to handle whatever else may be properly considered
Town Business.
Accordinly, I wrote a letter to the Town Attorney on Feb. 12,
1967. MY letter dealt with two aspects that properly are the concern of
this Commission: 1) the assumption of valid candidacies as a prerequisite
to the required certification after election, and '') the conduct of the
business of this Commission.
It should be noted that nowhere in my letter did I mention
blocking a candidacy, strikinq anyone's name from a ballot, or issue a
legal challenge.
(Will the Town Clerk please now read for the
record, first, the Sun - Sentinel article of
Feb. 12, and then my letter to the Town Attorney,
-4s" e.)
To continue:
Pegarding certification: To me it means that I would personally
attest that the election was proper in that all candidates qualified in
compliance with the Town Charter; that as far as I could know, the election
itself was properly conducted; and that the vote tally givenrus resulted
in specific numbers of votes for each candidate.
In other wor(±s, it's a matter of personal integrity. I have observed
the laws and served this Town to the best of my ability. I have never lied, }
and I don't intend to start doing so
}
Vice Mayor Blosser
• Regarding the conduct of Town business:
The Sun - Sentinel article of Feb. 12 presented facts and raised
questions which in my mind demanded action.
The article placed this Commission in a 'Catch 22' position- -
either ask the Town Attorney to investigate, OR,M be prepared subsequently
to read well- deserved articles to the effect that the Highland Beach
Commission sits on its hands, doesn't observe its own charter, silently
acquiesces, etc.
Once it had been raised, the issue could not have been expected
to disappear. That fact should have been obvious to anyone who has watched
TV or read a newspaper in this post - Watergate era. Public officials have
public responsibilities.
I looked forward to seeing some additional letters by Commission
members to the Town Attorney - -or at least one from the current mayor or
the mayor presumptive. I am informed that there were vte: If that is
the case, I am ashamed of the apparent disregard on the part of my fellow
Commissioners for the reputation of this Town as well as for the reputation
of this body. I have too much respect for my fellow residents in Highland
Beach to participate in seeing this town made a laughingstock.
® Regarding the Town Attorney's letter to the Town Manager, dated
Feb. 18, 1987, of which we all have copies, Mr. Sliney has written his opinion.
It is my right to accept it or to reject it.
It does NOT uphold or defend our ordinances or the Town Charter.
Every office in this nation,from the Presidency on down,
has qualifying requirements of some kind. To indicate that the only means
of enforcing properly drawn and properly processed qualification
requirements is by a judicial decision makes a mockery of the work done
over many years by governmental bodies in the drafting of qualifications.
Vice Mayor Blosser
4
It makes a mockery of the entire process.
L/ Ordinances 42? and 517, pertinent to this issue, were drafted
and approved by the present Town Attorney - -who now doesn't wish to defend
the very legislation he said was legal.
Several of us now seated approved those ordinances on the
basis of presumed legality: In 1981 -- Sullivan and Blosser, with Basso
absent. In 1985 -- Basso, Stewart and Blosser.
Mr. Sliney, however, now tells us in effect that to all intents
and purposes, these ordinances and this section of the Charter are useless
and not worth the paper they are written on.
I disagree and reject his opinion. I feel certain that electoral
qualifications are fully defensible when there is a desire to defend them,
and that in many other communities, in �.rable similar instances,
they have been successfully defended.
In conclusion, I hereby request that the following public documents
and this statement be permanently attached to the minutes of this meeting for

Town of Highland Beach
1614 South Ocean Blvd.
Highland Beach, Fla. 11411.
Dear Mr. Sliney:
Those of us who presently are seated on the Highland Beach Town Commission
will on March 11th he required to certify the results of the March 10th
election on the assumption of valid candidacies.
The Town Charter specifically states that candidates "must be both domiciled
within the corporate limits of the Town of Highland Beach and a qualified
elector of the Town of Highland Beach, registered in Precinct 191 ... within
the Town of Highland Beach, for a period of not less than one (1) year
immediately preceding the beginning of the qualification period." I call
your attention particularly to the words "immediately preceding."
Information to the above effect was specifically given to all residents of
Highland Beach in the official Town Letter. The January issue stated "To
be eligible, one must be a voter, registered in Precinct 191, who has been
a resident of Highland Beach since January 27, 1986 (one year prior to the
first date of qualifying)."
The attached newspaper article published in today's issue of the Sun - Sentinel
raises questions about the eligibility of candidate David Robinson. You will
note that the article quotes Jackie Winchester, Palm Beach County Supervisor
of Flections, as saying that Mr. Robinson "stated his address was 2000 Pres-
idential Way in West Palm Beach when he filed his campaign report as a Palm
Reach County Commission candidate in July 19P6."
Tn fairness to the voters of Highland Beach, to all the candidates, and to
the Town Commission itself, I hereby request that you promptly investigate
the questionable filing situation and return a written ruling as soon as
possible. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mary Louise G. Blosser
